“FOUR STARS! "DelGrosso confidently matches his plugged-in resonator mandolin to the electric guitar of Richardson on an impressive bunch of original songs that could only come from the marshlands and bayous of Southeast Texas. That old string-band instrument has an air of gracefulness about it. Above-average singers, the two share the ability to convey boundless joy ("She's Sweet") and romantic uncertainty ("Hard to Live With"), supported by a crackerjack rhythm section, the Texas Horns and local guests." ” Frank-John Hadley , Downbeat

(This review placed Time Slips On By on the Downbeat list of Best CDs of 2011)

"...the solidly rocking string wizard... a breath of fresh air for the blues."Blues&Rhythm, UK

"Rich DelGrosso's performances are high energy affairs. He seems to
channel the blues in a way that few artists can."Phil Koehlhoeffer
Mississippi Valley Blues Festival Guide

"DelGrossos
a groovemaster on guitar, just as on mando. Its hard to believe
its his "other" instrument. Hes got a hell of
a singing voice, too: a full-throated baritone with the gravel, growl,
and behind-the-beat passion that you only hear in the best blues singing."Mark Hoffman,
co-author of MOANIN AT MIDNIGHT:
The Life and Times of Howlin Wolf

"I love the mandolin flavor that Rich adds when we play together, and
his Blues singing, deep and powerful, should be recognized alongside
his trademark picking."Bob Margolin
Blueswax

. . .for many of the tracks on this set, youd be excused for
thinking you were listening to a Johnny Young session, or occasionally
a Yank Rachell or Howard Armstrong number, so accomplished is his
playing. Not only does Rich play mandolin, but on some numbers, those
more r&b compared to blues, he plays a pretty mean guitar (on
one number, Dishes, he plays both!). He also has a decent,
rich baritone voice, quite expressive, occasionally with a humorous
slant, reminding me of the likes of Rick Estrin.Byron

Get
Your Nose Outta My Bizness is such a ROCKIN, BAD
ASS-GROOVIN, BOOTY-SHAKIN project, that I just dont know
where to start! Trust me that the bulk of this cd was recorded LIVE no
click tracks, overdubs/ techno-jive-ola etc. Not a $20K Gil or
Dude in sight no $60 tortoise picks either . for the most
part, on his 1916 Gibson A4, Rich DelGrosso JUST LAYS IT DOWN translation EITHER
YOU CAN PLAY THE BLUES or YOU CANT!!!

WOW! This guy is the real deal! just him and a guy and a standup bass (who was great as well).- and they took da blues to every place you could think of: he gave lots of mandoblues history and styles of blues, info on the mandolin-its origin and different types of mandos, and told many stories of famous mandoblues and other blues men. great sense of humor and stage presence. then- 2 sets all but 2 songs (he played guitar on these- he is awesome on that big 6 string thing as well) in each set with mando- opened with title track from album, rolled into some johnny young stuff, willie dixon, robert johnson, yank, howard armstrong (who's wife was in attendance), etc.. powerful vocals- and just killer mando. slow, up-tempo, chicago style or low done country blues- just killer licks! itook some folks with me (none of whom play mandolin), a friend who is an alt-rock bass player, summed it up perfectly after the show "he just pulls the blues out of the mando "if you get a chance to see this dude- don't miss it!Review of performance at Passim's, Boston MA

DelGrosso
is very much the latest in the evolution of mandobluesmen, a dexterous,
efficient player who combines traditional trill techniques and guitar
derived licks into one peerless set of chops capable of every modern
blues idiom. DelGrossos singularity isnt confined to his
instrumental voice, and his vocals give forth a subterranean quality-
a depth that is hulking and grand but not gruff.Evan Haga,
Living Blues
